As Tantra often involves vows and samaya related to secret practice, this sub-forum has been created where Vajrayana practitioners can pose questions, and any of our members or staff can reply confidentially by PM.

Okay, although I don't have a root guru, I have been rather concerned on what just happened. Just recently, I took part of an empowerment by a certain lama. However, I did not know he was in fact a Shugden practitioner and am very concerned in this matter. Although the empowerment was only to White Manjushri, I realized this was a huge mistake in who to go for. Does this make him my root guru because of this first empowerment? I am very worried on the consequences as I know that Shugden isn't quite good according to the Dalai Lama. How do I fix this? Especially the Shugden part worries me even though he is considered a worldly emanation of Shugden by some many Gelugpa lamas. Can someone please help me out in this?
